3 THINKING ABOUT HAVING A BABY? Does your current policy cover pregnancy and birth-related services? Will you have to pay an excess on your current cover? When you start planning a family, you need to think about your health cover. If you want to be covered for obstetrics (pregnancy and birth-related services) in a private hospital with an obstetrician of your choice, you need to take out private Hospital cover or upgrade your existing cover well before you are pregnant, as waiting periods will apply. Your private Hospital cover kicks in once you are admitted into hospital. Out-of-hospital medical expenses incurred throughout your pregnancy (scans, obstetrician appointments, blood tests etc) will not be covered by your private health insurance although they may be covered to some extent by Medicare. Check if you are eligible for additional Medicare benefits with the Medicare Safety Net (see page 15). 3 PREGNANCY GUIDE

9 STEP 2 CHOOSE AN OBSTETRICIAN HOW DO I CHOOSE AN OBSTETRICIAN? Ask your GP for a list of obstetricians in your area. We recommend that you give them a call and ask them the following questions: 1. Are you taking any more patients? 2. At which hospitals do you deliver? 3. Is that a public or private hospital? 4. Can you provide me with a rough guide as to the fees you charge for managing my pregnancy? 5. Do you participate in the Access Gap Cover (AGC) scheme? 6. What arrangements do you have in place if you are away at the time of the delivery? CONTACT US AND ASK: If the hospital your obstetrician works at has an agreement with Teachers Health. If you elect to have your baby in a hospital that does not hold an agreement with us, you will have significant out-of-pocket expenses. Whether your obstetrician has participated in AGC before (see page 11 for more details on AGC). If they have, they may consider charging you under the AGC scheme which will eliminate or significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. ASK YOUR OBSTETRICIAN FOR A QUOTE Obtain a quote (known as Informed Financial Consent) from your obstetrician so you are aware of the charges payable throughout your pregnancy. Remember that any services received while you are not admitted in hospital may only be partially covered by Medicare. You should discuss with your obstetrician if they will bill you under the AGC scheme for services received when you are admitted to hospital to give birth. 9 PREGNANCY GUIDE
10 10 PREGNANCY GUIDE Healthy minds, happy hearts
11 STEP 3 ASK ABOUT THE ACCESS GAP COVER SCHEME Access Gap Cover (AGC) is a billing scheme that aims to reduce or eliminate out-of-pocket expenses for medical services received in hospital as an in-patient. AGC allows us to pay above the scheduled fee for services provided to you as an in-patient. Doctors can choose to participate in AGC on a patient-by-patient basis so contact your doctor to discuss if they are willing to treat you under this arrangement. If your doctor or specialist agrees to bill you under this arrangement, you will experience either reduced or nil out-ofpocket expenses for in-patient medical charges. If they charge above the AGC fee you will be able to establish the known gap that you will have to pay before you receive treatment. If your obstetrician chooses to participate in AGC, they must provide you with a written estimate of fees for the cost of the services throughout your pregnancy. If you have any questions about AGC, contact us on PREGNANCY GUIDE
12 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR OBSTETRICIAN ABOUT THE ACCESS GAP COVER SCHEME Will the fee you charge me be covered under Access Gap Cover (AGC) or will I have to pay a known gap? If there is a gap amount, can you provide me with an Informed Financial Consent document so I know exactly how much I will be out-of-pocket? Can you provide me with the relevant Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) item numbers, so I can discuss these with Teachers Health and/or Medicare? Will any assisting doctors involved in helping me give birth, including anaesthetist, assistant surgeon, paediatrician and pathologist, treat me under AGC? What out-of-pocket expenses, if any, will there be for their services? Can you send the bill directly to Teachers Health, so that they can claim the Medicare benefit on my behalf and send the payment back to you? 12 PREGNANCY GUIDE
13 OTHER INFORMATION WHAT OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES MIGHT I HAVE? A hospital excess paid upon admission to hospital (depending on your level of cover). Anaesthetist (if you have an epidural or a caesarean section) if they do not participate in the Access Gap Cover (AGC) scheme. It s important to note that there is still potential for out-of-pocket expenses even if you are billed under the AGC scheme. Any assisting specialists (e.g. assisting surgeon if you require a caesarean) who do not participate in the AGC scheme. If your baby receives treatment in the hospital and is not an admitted patient (e.g. paediatric check-up). Pharmaceuticals that are not covered in the agreement with the hospital or that are listed under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. FOR VISITS TO YOUR OBSTETRICIAN AND ANY TESTS OR SCANS BEFORE AND AFTER YOU GO TO HOSPITAL: Medicare pays 85% of the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) fee, you pay the remainder of the account. FOR TREATMENT IN HOSPITAL WHEN AN ADMITTED PATIENT: Medicare pays 75% of the MBS fee, Teachers Health pays 25% of the MBS fee. You pay the remainder of the account (unless the specialist providing the treatment participates in AGC). AFTER THE BABY ARRIVES When you are settled in, give us a call on or log in to Online Member Services at teachershealth. com.au/members and add your baby to your cover. We will need your baby s name, date of birth and sex for them to be covered with no waiting periods. All waiting periods will be waived for your baby if you add them to your membership within two months of their birth. PLEASE NOTE: If you are on a Single membership, you will need to upgrade to a Family or Single Parent membership within two months of the birth of your baby, to add them to your cover and avoid any waiting periods. 13 PREGNANCY GUIDE
14 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. What happens if I am considering getting pregnant but I m on a Hospital cover that excludes or restricts pregnancy or birth-related services, and I want to give birth in a private hospital? It s important you have Hospital cover that includes pregnancy and birthrelated services, such as Top Hospital. A nine month waiting period applies for all services relating to pregnancy and childbirth. This means you will need to have held Top Hospital well in advance of your pregnancy. 2. What happens if my baby is premature and I have not served my waiting periods? If your baby comes early and you are still within the nine month waiting period you will not be entitled to benefits under your private hospital cover. For this reason, Teachers Health recommends taking out or upgrading to a cover that includes pregnancy well in advance of your pregnancy. 3. What if my baby is premature and I am required to give birth in a public hospital, even though I am booked to give birth in a private hospital? You may be admitted as a private patient in a public hospital. You will not be guaranteed a private room, but if a private room is available or becomes available during your stay, you may be relocated to the available room. This decision is dependent on the hospital and is not controlled or influenced by Teachers Health. 4. What happens if I have Hospital cover that includes pregnancy, but I become pregnant while I am on a Single membership? If you have a Single membership, you will still be covered during your pregnancy and at the birth of your baby. Once your baby is born, you will need to upgrade to a Family or Single Parent membership. This is particularly important if your baby is admitted to hospital. For more information, or to upgrade your membership, please contact us on You will need to advise us of the name, date of birth and sex of your baby. 14 PREGNANCY GUIDE
15 5. When is my baby an admitted patient? Babies born without complications are generally not admitted to hospital, but treated as an out-patient. A newborn baby is classified as an in-patient when one or more of the following criteria are met: the baby is admitted to an approved neo-natal intensive care facility the baby is the second or subsequent born in a multiple birth situation (i.e. twins or triplets) the baby is more than 10 days old when still in hospital. 6. What do I need to do if my baby is admitted to hospital? After giving birth, your main focus will be on your own recovery and the health of your newborn baby. However, if your baby is admitted to hospital, they will need to be added to your cover as soon as possible (within two months) to ensure that a claim can be made for the costs incurred during that time. 7. What happens if my baby is not admitted to hospital but still receives treatment? Benefits will only be available through Medicare. Medicare will cover 85% of the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) fee. Benefits are not available from Teachers Health when your baby is not an admitted patient in the hospital. 8. Does Teachers Health pay benefits for physio? Physio conducted outside of a hospital may be covered if you have Extras cover. Please contact us on for further information. Some hospitals offer postnatal classes in conjunction with your hospital admission and accommodation costs. These costs are covered by Teachers Health if you have private Hospital cover. Eligibility criteria applies. 9. What is the Medicare Safety Net? The Medicare Safety Net provides families and individuals with financial assistance for high out-of-pocket expenses for out-of-hospital MBS fees. Once you meet a Medicare Safety Net threshold, you may be eligible for additional Medicare benefits for out-of-hospital MBS services for the rest of the calendar year. You can register for the Medicare Safety Net for free at medicareaustralia.gov.au. This allows Medicare to track your outof-hospital, out-of pocket expenses and advise you when you are nearing the threshold. 10. Why won t my doctor participate in the Access Gap Cover (AGC) scheme? It is up to your doctor to decide whether to charge you under the AGC scheme. Even if the doctor has previously participated in this scheme, it does not guarantee that the doctor will participate for your treatment. Doctors are free to choose on a patient-bypatient basis. This decision remains solely with the doctor. 15 PREGNANCY GUIDE
16 11. What might I have to pay for during my hospital stay? There are services that you may receive in hospital that are not covered by us. These include: telephone and internet usage charges TV hire or other items of a non-medical nature pharmaceuticals that are not covered in the agreement with the hospital or that are listed under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). 12. Can I receive benefits towards home nursing after a hospitalisation? If you have Top Extras cover you may receive benefits towards home visits by a registered nurse in a private practice. 13. Does Teachers Health pay a benefit for one-on-one lactation consultations? If you have Top Extras cover you may receive benefits towards one-on-one lactation consultations received from a recognised provider. 16 PREGNANCY GUIDE

19 DID YOU KNOW? DENTAL A pregnant woman s unique diet during pregnancy can sometimes cause dental diseases. The frequency of meals and gastric acids (due to vomiting when experiencing morning sickness) can cause erosion of the tooth surface. A diet low in sugar and acidity is recommended to reduce the risk of tooth decay. A pregnant woman runs an increased risk of gingivitis during pregnancy. This is caused by an excess of bacterial plaque compounded by hormonal changes. Good oral hygiene is highly recommended to prevent this. So if you have Extras cover, have a dental check-up before you are planning to have a baby or after you conceive. Don t forget to tell your dentist if you re pregnant, or planning to be, as x-rays may not be safe at this time. OPTICAL It is recommended to have a comprehensive eye examination during pregnancy, especially for women with conditions such as diabetes (including gestational diabetes), high blood pressure, or a family history of glaucoma. During pregnancy, women can experience the following changes to their vision: prescription changes this can be temporary or permanent. If your prescription changes during your pregnancy, we recommend that you be re-examined at some point after the delivery of your baby or once you finish breastfeeding dry eyes especially if you wear contact lenses. This can be treated with eye drops. 19 PREGNANCY GUIDE
20 MASSAGE Remedial or pre-natal massages are great for back pain. There are some essential oils that are beneficial during pregnancy, however, there are some which should be avoided for their contraction stimulating properties. Be sure to check with a qualified therapist before using any essential oils during a massage while you are pregnant. DEALING WITH MORNING SICKNESS There are several remedies you can try to help relieve morning sickness - some of which are listed. It is important that you talk to your obstetrician or midwife before trying them. Also ensure that the service providers are experienced in dealing with pregnant women. You may be able to claim a benefit for these services from your Teachers Health Extras cover. Acupuncture Consult a qualified practitioner such as a member of the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA). Reflexology Reflexology can help to reduce stress and anxiety, which can cause conditions in pregnancy, labour and in the post natal period.
